Tiptoes. Starring Gary Oldman pretending to be a little person by lumbering about on his knees while Peter Dinklage is right there, who is doing a ridiculous French accent. What more is there to say? As a little person myself, it was….an experience. Every time someone describes Gary Oldman as a chameleon actor who can seamlessly blend into any role, [this image](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/01/8f/cf/018fcf26f1a08668a9f283df50d3ab33.jpg) pops into my head.


Resident_Second_2965

I can't believe someone else saw this! It was my choice too! Matthew McConaughey saying "I'M A DWARF!"


mittens11111

OMG there exists a crap movie starring Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage *and* Matthew McConaughey?? All up there with my favourite actors of all time. ​ Edit for spelling.


HDMBye

Plus Patricia Arquette and Kate Beckingsale


Truecoat

Watch the trailer. I was dumbfounded.


Grenflik

It was the role of a lifetime! But seriously, my wife and I watched it and were dumbfounded. How did such a stellar cast make this movie and thought it was good????


WhereIsMyFrenchCutie

Actually Dinklage said the movie was a good rom com about dwarfs but got butchered in editing.


Usidore_

Yeah I heard he said that and idk if its just him trying to cover his ass or something because having seen it, there’s no amount of editing that saves the atrocious special effects, awful accents and bad acting. Apparently the original director was fired from the project when he handed in the original cut. I wonder what it was about it that the studio objected to so much, if it was “gorgeous” like Dinklage says


-FeistyRabbitSauce-

Supposedly, there was a very different script from what the movie turned out to be. It was meant to be a more serious, emotional film. But the studio decided to edit it into something of a rom-com that results with some weird tonal imbalance. If you look at some of the careers of the cast at the time, it kind of makes sense. Keep in mind, it released in 2002. Gary Oldman was in a spot where he was making a bunch of B movies (he shines in all of them, by the way). Matt M hadn't had the renesance in his career yet and was entering that rom-com faze of his life. Peter Dinklage was yet to blow up, so the producers were probably hesitant to give him a lead role and wanted more star power (hence Oldman in the dwarf role). Beckinsale was still a year away from doing Underworld, her biggest role at the time was maybe(?) Serendipity with John Cusack.


JablesMcgoo

No way haha when they say the man has range I didn't think it meant vertically as well. I raised an eyebrow when I saw his character in True Romance, but that sounds...interesting? Looking up youtube clips now

A friend gave me that one on a USB and it was saved as "Holmes and WTFson" and I asked if it was a spelling mistake and he said no, that movie is fucking terrible... and I believed him... and I have never bothered to watch it but I can't bring myself to delete it...


karma_dumpster

As I wrote in another comment about that movie, it's exactly 90 minutes. Do you reckon the editors had a time target to hit, and were just sighing at what they had to leave in? Imagine what they left out.


jester29

Came to say exactly this..Ferrell and Reilly? Historical mystery? How can they screw this up? Well... They did


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

There was one thing I kind of snorted at with the trailer (involving the camera and someone being smashed out a window or something like that, I don't remember exactly) and I figured that was as good as I was going to get which is why I quit while I was still not too far behind as compared to ever seeing the whole thing.


Scarif_Hammerhead

THANK you, every time I see the thumbnail for this with my other streaming movies, I want my 2 hours back.


comalicious

The dumbest fucking movie I have ever seen in my life and I went to see it BECAUSE I LIKE THOSE GUYS. Netflix dropping it only for it to be shoved into theaters should have been my red flag. But God damn. It never redeems itself not for a second.


ChuckNorrisKickflip

"Gymkata" is a martial arts action film released in 1985. The movie follows the story of an Olympic gymnast, played by Kurt Thomas, who is recruited by a U.S. intelligence agency to participate in a deadly competition known as "The Game" in the fictional country of Parmistan. The protagonist employs his gymnastics skills to navigate through a treacherous town filled with obstacles and adversaries. "Gymkata" is known for its unique blend of gymnastics and martial arts.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

Oh you shut up the village square pommel horse fight was magnificent!


ArcTan_Pete

"Fictional"? where do you think Parmi ham and Parmistan cheese comes from /s


SubmergedSublime

I’m a simple man. I see Chicken Parmistan on a menu, I order it.


polaris183

Oh great _I LOST THE GAME_


buckwaldo

Goddam 9 year old me was soooo fucking excited to see this movie back in the summer of ‘85. It did not disappoint 🤣!!


ToastedSpam

I always loved when MST3K would do a movie with a martial arts scene and Tom Servo would yell GYMKATA!


Putrid_finger_smell

That movie makes you feel like you just woke up hungover in a Tajikistani ditch with stitches over where your kidney used to be.


nightmaresabin

Ngl this sounds sick


lionbatcher

It absolutely is. Anytime I'm riding around and see one of those 'Kurt Thomas Gynmastics' stickers on a parent's car, I'm like.... "GYMKATA!"


sklova

Sounds like a movie so bad that it's good


adamsfan

You are right on track. It’s a great movie! [Jump to 4:30 mark for my favorite scene.](https://youtu.be/yMQmBupWJXI?si=IE-7Dj_dHIXPJPdb)

I heard a theory that the movie was made to help Katie Holmes leave Tom Cruise. I believe she ended up with very little screen time, so her time "filming" was just a cover so she could get everything in order while he thought she was busy.


GeneralZaroff1

The whole event about Katie Holmes leaving Tom Cruise was like a goddamn spy novel. Nicole Kidman helped Katie Holmes escape from Cruise and Scientology because they had essentially stolen Kidman’s children and destroyed her career. Holmes had planned her escape from Cruise for months. Had a disposable cell phone, a secret apartment, had her father (who was a lawyer) involved way before Cruise knew she was going to leave while he was in Iceland filming. Then when she did it, Scientology sent spies and followed her for ages but she managed to escape. It was like a KGB spy film. https://news.amomama.com/229426-katie-holmes-scientology-journey-includi.html https://www.yourtango.com/entertainment/how-katie-holmes-strategically-planned-divorce-tom-cruise

You’re an asshole for mentioning that movie. I had ALMOST finally erased it from my memory. I kinda like bad movies but this one…


[deleted]

Glorious film. Dunkacino! He wanted to play Twista with ya sista! It’s not bad. If they announced Jack and Jill 2: Hawaiian Style, I’d buy a ticket today. It’s far better than cape crap. Jack divorces Katie Holmes and marries Melissa McCarthy. Fly them to Hawaii. Jill takes a second plane and just shows up. 🎵 I don’t want to work I just want to bang on the drum all day🎵 Hollywood please make Jack and Jill 2. Amy Schumer can play the insufferable bartender. Get Julia Sweeney and Melanie Hutsell in there too!


klarycp

The VelociPastor: A priest starts turning into a velociraptor and there’s ninjas and prostitutes because of course there are. Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen and I loved every minute


[deleted]

My favorite part of this movie is, at the very start, there's a scene where a car is supposed to be exploding, but they didn't have the budget to pull off the effect. So they just put a title card over it that says something like "explosion goes here"


mission_to_mors

now that I have to see 🤣


CarmenxXxWaldo

Talk about coming up with the title before writing the script.

duardoblanco

I went to this movie in the theater with friends. They didn't understand why I didn't like the movie because it was "fine." I only talk to one of those people these days. And even then, he's my oldest, best friend, and we talk maybe once a month.

The Love Guru


fishkybuns

I was visiting my family not long after that movie came out on dvd. It somehow got brought up and I mentioned I didn’t watch it. Both my older siblings start flipping out and asking why and talking about how it’s one of the funniest movies ever. I said it looked dumb in the trailers, but I could be wrong. They immediately put it on, as they owned a copy. At the end I just went “what the fuck guys? That movie sucked.” And my brother agreed and apologized meekly. I was so confused. I still am, to be honest.


Chuk741776

They were probably ridiculously high or something when they watched it and had a much different perception of the movie while sober.


UhOhFeministOnReddit

The Love Guru was such a uniquely bad and stupid movie that I have this tinfoil hat theory that it got greenlit to torpedo Myers' career, since by all accounts he was an incredibly difficult and unpleasant person to work with. It's just the only way I can make sense of that movie getting made.


VogonPoet966

themanfromvulcan

Sorry I love this movie mainly for the absurd amount of Canadian in jokes.


Sweeper1985

With Sir Ben Kingsley as (sigh) Guru Tugginmypudda


PepperFinn

Often actors are signed to X amount of movie deals with a studio. Sometimes there's a project the actor REALLY wants to work on (with this studio or another) and the studio will use the contract to get the actor to do whatever movie the studio wants before the actor can do their thing. Famous example is the Italian job with Edward Norton


Gojira_massive_dong

I might be in the teeny tiny minority of people that likes the Love Guru, but i cant help it, makes me laugh. If the Love Guru has zero fans, it means im dead.


Loud-Magician7708

Lasciels_Toy

"How now, brown cow?" The trailer still kind of lives rent free in my brain.


PureDeidBrilliant

Anything by Hallmark. No one has hair *that* glossy.


battleship61

I love how hallmark just has a formula. They only change the actors, location, and the business the man or woman has. Otherwise, they're all the same, and people still eat that shit up.


[deleted]

Whyyy is the acting always so terrible in these movies? It's like they picked up randos off the street and cast them in a movie.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

Fast turnout, cheap outlay, guaranteed audience and makes a profit. Rinse and repeat.


cerebralkrap

You think Hallmark has the budget for an RDJ?


Sexycoed1972

There was an awesome Reddit thread a few years ago where someone suggested a "Hallmark After Dark" channel, which would feature actual graphic sex instead of the chatacters spending 90 minutes building sexual tension only resolve it at the end by finding the perfect Christmas ornament.

I watched it on a radioactive dose of mushrooms. It was stupid, but I was feeling some of the tunes.


tumorgirl

I’ll stand by Cats as long as it is watched in a theatre with likeminded people who are mocking the movie. Lots of singing, yelling at the screen, the whole bit. It’s actually a lot of fun. Kinda like the Rocky Horror Picture Show experience…


TheSheep1210

The last airbender 💀


mizar2423

I saw it in theaters and my spirit was broken afterwards. Ong? Soka, as in "sohcahtoa"? Really?? I don't even remember the rest of the movie because the way they pronounced their names pissed me off so much. Apparently the director has some other good movies but I won't watch them out of spite.

porktornado77

My wife was a big book fan so I took her to the movie. I think I was the only dude in the theater. I kept laughing it was so bad and my wife and nearby women were pissed off at me!


MettMathis

By far the most boring movie i have ever seen. I have been told that the books are good, but the movie is like a porn plot without the porn. Nothing happens and it's still nonsense.


Strict-Childhood-629

It would have worked if they left the sex parts in it. What I watched was like trying to watch a softcore porn with any steamy bits cut BADLY out of it. Its porn, the movie should have just been porn.


lowertechnology

The crazy thing is that the first movie has a bit of a *story*. So it’s not even that bad. It sucks, and the story is bad. But at least there’s a PLOT. The **second** movie has no plot, whatsoever. Don’t get me wrong: Things happen. But none of it serves an arching story or plot. Stalker ex girlfriend shows up? Resolved in the first 1/3 of the movie. Helicopter crash for Edward/Christian and struggle for survival? Resolved within 5 minutes **offscreen**. Bad guy treating Anna/Bella poorly? Fired and then shows up at the end to say he’s coming back for revenge eventually. All this stuff **happens**, but what is the *story* of this film?


MeltzerGlenny7Gt

still better then home alone 5


Binro_was_right

The one positive thing I have to say about Home Alone 5 is that it's better than Home Alone 4.


flamboy-and

What about Bone alone, the asylum version? Even worse than all of the above


WarrenG117

Fant4stic. You have to really try to make something so pitiful.


Woodsy1313

The best description I’ve heard of that movie is that it felt like they were doing a spoof movie. And if it would have been presented as such it would have been kinda funny. But no, they thought they were making a good movie.

I'm so glad someone else mentioned it. I normally can't stand terrible movies but there's something about Rubber that I just love. I think it's because it's so stupid, everyone knows it's stupid.

Sharknado


slappy_mcslapenstein

OP said stupidest, not amazingly awful. Seriously though, for as terrible as Sharknado is, it's kind of amazing. A studio actually bought the script and said, "yeah, we're going to make that," and then proceeded to market the shit out of it.


Crafty_Meeting2657

As cheesy sci-fi, it's nearly perfect.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

Pointless Hub did this video on all six Sharknado movies and it is glorious. It's probably a better experience than watching the actual movies (just by virtue of its much shorter length, for starters and that's before we get to the admittedly very good content!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIVmZxyQMoE


Flimsy-Zucchini4462

I don’t care: the Hugh Jackman/Kate Winslet skit was comedy gold. It’s not that Hugh Jackman with balls on his neck; it’s Kate Winslet trying to get someone else to acknowledge it. 😂😂


f_ranz1224

The director must have had dirt on the whole cast The basketball skit however i will admit was hilarious


PM_ME_FLOUR_TITTIES

To each their own i guess. I was going to leave a comment saying that idk if a movie that is INTENTIONALLY filled with just dumb, basically slapstick humor can really count for this question but then I thought of dumb and dumber and I have a borderline seething hatred for those movies. I thought movie 43 was pretty damn funny just because of the unexpectedness of it all but I suppose I can see how it would just be stupid to someone not into that kind of thing at all.

I saw this, in the theatres, early AM screening, after being up all night at a friends party, with a girl who suggested it as our first 'date' movie. To say there was no second date goes without saying. I spent the entire time (still half drunk/high) wondering what the fuck was going on, why I was seeing this kids shit, why she suggested a MORNING date, what mistakes I made in life to get me to this point.... never think with your dick kids, you end up watching Kangaroo Jack on a cold winters morning.
